why in the FUCK is this allowed?

Why shouldn't it?

They didn't know what else to fill it with, and making it hollow is bad for aero

>>17340589
It looks good. It complements the aggressive look well.

That spot should've been metal but filled with a row of fog lights or one big fog light.

>>17340618
This.

Either that or a smooth section of the bumper.

Anything but fake, 'all style and no substance' crap.

Someone with photoshop smooth it out please

>>17340925
that would increase drag and whatnot

>>17341038
Fake textured surface increases drag rather than a smooth painted surface if you want to get this technical :^)

better

>>17341197
Yes please. They should've just put fuck huge fog lights on. Both front and rear.

Why didn't they use it for a natural cooling system?

>>17341612
because unlike a corvette the Honda Civic Type-R doesn't need it

>>17340533

I like to think that they put all that plastic shit there to make the car easier to modify since Honda drivers like to modify their cars

>>17341732
Yea because they totally just wanna void their warranty right?

>>17341740
People are already tuning their regular Civic turbos to over 300hp

>>17341765
>people are already voiding their warranties

>tuning regular civics to over 300

yea right, 190hp 1.5l with a turbo to suddenly over 300 ?

>>17341773
An ECU flash brings it to like 240bhp, some chinks changed the impeller and got like 320bhp

>>17341740
I'm assuming those plastic vents are incredibly easy to remove and put back.Not unlike the foglights in my 8th gen Si that require the whole front bumper to be removed OR to raise the car and remove the bottom cover to get up in there

>>17341788

>>17341794
>They also upgraded the air intake, the whole exhaust system, and ecu of course, to achieve the result of 300 hp gain. The poster stated that they were able to push it to 320 hp after a custom tune.

They did a lot more than just change the impeller

>>17340628

Intake and exhaust is a fuck load easier than changing the impeller. If you can do the latter you can and should do the former

>>17341836

>>17341773
Totally realistic with modern turbo engines. Honda engines have always been stupid tough.

I dunno about the Civic, but one tuning company (Deadhook Motorsports) got over 400WHP out of the Fiesta ST's little 1.6L without touching internals, before a piston cracked.

>>17341570
>>17341719
damn that looks nice

feel like that plastic is cheaper and lighter than just having the metal body cover those areas, no?
besides, people who live in real cities who actually buy these cars get hit all the fucking time.
it's just a good business model to make replacement parts cheaper if the car is only a shitbox anyways..

Don't buy one if you don't like it. The market determines the things.

>Don't buy one if you don't like it.
It's sad, I really would buy a Type R if Honda didn't have to go and ruin it.

>>17342199
It's objectively the best Type R ever

I hated the 2-step interiors in the 8th/9th gen Civics. This is super nice though.

You know what my least favorite part about the new Type R is?

>245/30R20
>20 inch rims on a Civic
>30 fucking sidewall

Just fuck my ride quality up senpai

In America they don't. I'm pretty sure it's a law in European countries tho.

You can buy German cars in America with rear fog lights, most of them are sold with them standard

Have you ever seen a car that's not older than 30 years?
All cars have bumpers entirely made of plastic. Having multiple piece design for a bumper just makes it harder to drift stitch yourself and more expensive to replace multiple broken pieces if you crash. It also looks fucking ugly.

>>17342969
The type R still has VTEC. All the other 10th gen Civics that use the turbo engine don't.
